The Elle UK 'Solar Power' Editorial Features Model Ilse de Boer

If you think dressing fashionably is strictly limited to the catwalks or city streets think again, because these desert editorials from Elle UK demonstrate that you can dress sophisticatedly no matter where you are.

This 'Solar Power' editorial for Elle UK June 2013 showcases model Ilse de Boer dressed eloquently in chic designer attire that you would normally expect models to be wearing down the runway. The use of monochromatic colors, bold shapes and extremely fitted ensembles serves to give this editorial a strikingly retro appeal. The eye-catching desert background adds a dark and edgy overall vibe, since deserts are often known for its vast wide-open spaces and lack of human life.
